My apologies. There were 2 William Tyas born 1899 so there is no guarantee that the one who died in 1900 was the son of Christiana and George Tyas.
Therefore the William Tyas , son of Tyas/Ranyard may have survived to be the one with the Collinsons in 1911. That just confirms that Christianas children, with the possible exception of one, were effectively adopted by the Collisons.

I know that Goodall and Harriett Collinson had two children - Willie in 1898 and Ernest in 1903 both born Dewsbury area. Christiana and George did have 5 but 3 survived all born in Sheffield.
Harriett Collinson left England with son Ernest for Australia 1914 following Goodall - he arrived in Australia in 1912.

I believe that Harriet Tyas travelled from UK to Sydney in 1915 in the name of Harriet Collinson age 17 and travelling with her was her cousin William (Willie) Collinson also age 17. They presumably travelled as brother and sister for "convenience". You can see these records on FMP

Got to now try and find the three children that Francis Xavier Wond kissed when he went off to commit suicide. The article read
he kissed his wife and three little children before going off to commit suicide - so who are the 3 children - obviously Royal Wond is one.
Some success already found Raymond Wond died 1937 and the picture of his grave shows he is with his mother Harriet(Tyas-Wond) Patterson who only died in 1990. Just think if I had started this family history lark earlier I may have had more answers!!
From the Sydney Morning Herald, Nov. 15, 1937
Wond- November 12, 1937 at Balmain Hospital, Raymond Wond, beloved son and stepson of Mr. and Mrs. T.W. Patterson of 45 Lenore Street, Fivedock and brother of Royal and Frank, aged 18 years.
Edit: Coroner's report re Raymond's death is that he died of injuries received when his motor cycle accidentally collided with an electric tram car.
